I am so close to having karmic working perfectly on this laptop. The only thing isn't working is the fan. It is currently on at the lowest speed and switches off if I suspend.
I wish I could do one of the following:
1. Turn the fan on full - I don't care how loud it is, anything is better than Vista.
2. Disable acpi control of the fan (e.g acpi=off) but still enable suspend.
3. Control the fan properly, enable trip_points, keep the temperature below 60, etc.
Currently if I use the CPU too much it overheats and switches off.
Here is some information:

I updated the BIOS. I got the newest fglrx driver from ATI. Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks so much in advance for helping. Absolutely any suggestions would be much appreciated. Cheers.
